lowers the cost of premiums whether they buy the coverage through federal or state exchanges. that means more than 6 million americans who get their health insurance through the federal marketplace, they depend on these subsidies to reduce their premiums significantly. if the court had ruled against allowing the subsidies, almost 6.4 million insurance customers could have been affected. a major victory for the white house and the president's landmark legislation. back to you. nbc's pete williams broke the news outside of the supreme court less than an hour ago. >> he asked tom goldstein from scotus blog about this ruling. >> reporter: your opinions? >> i don't think the administration could be happier tichlts a complete vindication of their view. we see the words established by a state but what we also see is a statute that had an obvious purpose, to make health care available to people. it wouldn't have worked if everybody couldn't get these

republican and most often sides with conservatives in the court on issues wrote the majority opinion. he wrote the opinion that upheld the obama care law in this instance. it is something that is going to make conservatives very angry at the chief justice. what he said was the intent of this law was to help people get insurance, not to tear insurance down. that's why he believes these subsidies should stay in place. >> that was the big issue the subsidies. how does this affect people that are trying to get affordable health care? >> if the court had ruled the other way, more than 6 million americans that got their health care through obamacare through federal exchanges, would have seen their insurance premiums skyrocket. there are some republicans out there that are sighing a little bit of a sigh of relief even though they oppose the obamacare law. had they skyrocketed republicans would have had to take on some responsibility for how to fix it and keep the

11:34 am
painted with black lives matter. back to you. >> all right, thank you, kristen. we are standing about i for president obama. he is expected to speak in just a couple of minutes here from the rose garden there at the white house. those comments expected very soon. we are going to bring you those remarks live here as we are taking a look at this right now. the supreme court handed the obama administration a huge victory on this affordable health care act ruling 6-3 that the nationwide subsidies called fo are legal. chief justice john roberts wrote the majority. he usually sides with the conservatives. this time, he sided in favor of the affordable care act saying congress passed the affordable care act. here is the pr ezesident now. >> good morning, everybody. have a seat. five years ago, after nearly a century of talk, decades of trying, a year of by partisan debate, we finally declared that in america, health care is not a privilege for a few but a right
11:35 am
over those five years as we have worked to implement the affordable care act, that he have been successes and setbacks. the setbacks, i remember clearly. as the dust has settled, there can be no doubt that this law is working. it has changed and in some cases saved american lives. it has set this country on a smarter, stronger course. today, after more than 50 votes in congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law, after multiple challenges to this law before the supreme court the affordable care act is here to stay. this morning, the court upheld a critical part of this law the part that's made it easier for
11:36 am
americans to afford health insurance regardless of where you live. if the partisan challenge to this law had succeeded, millions of americans would have had thousands of dollars worth of tax credits taken from them. for many, insurance would have become unaffordable again. many would have become uninsured again ultimately everyone's premiums could have gone up. america would have gone backwards. that's not what we do. that's not what america does. we move forward. so today is a victory for hard-working americans all across this country whose lives will continue to become more secure in a changing economy because of this law. if you are a parent you can keep your kids on your plan until they turn 26 something that has covered millions of young people so far. that's because of this law. if you're a senior or an american with a disability, this law gives you discounts on your
11:37 am
prescriptions, something that has saved 9 million americans an average of $1600 so far. if you are a woman, you can't be charged more than anybody else, even if you have had cancer or your husband had heart disease or just because you are a woman. your insurer has to offer preventative services like mammograms. they can't place annual or lifetime caps on your care because of this law. because of this law and because of today's decision millions of americans that i hear from every single day will continue to receive the tax credits that have given 8 in 10 people who buy insurance on the new marketplaces the choice of a health care plan that costs less than $100 a month. when it comes to pre-existing conditions, someday our grandkids will ask us if there was really a time when america
11:38 am
discriminated against people who get sick because that is something this law has ended for good. that affects everybody with health insurance, not just folks who got insurance through the affordable care act. all of america has protections that it didn't have before. as the law's provisions have gradually taken effect more than 16 million uninsured americans have gained coverage so far. nearly 1 in 3 americans who was uninsured a few years ago is insured today. the uninsured rate in america is the lowest since with he began to keep records. that is something we can all be proud of. meanwhile, the law has helped hold the price of health care to its slowest growth in 50 years. if your family gets insurance through your job, so you are not using the affordable care act, you are still paying about $1800 less per year on average than
11:39 am
you would be if we hadn't done anything. by one leading measure what bess owners pay out in wages and salaries is now finally growing faster than what they spend on health insurance. that hasn't happened in 17 years. that is good for workers and good for the economy. the point is this is not an abstract thing anymore. this is not a set of political talking points. this is reality. we can see how it is working. this law is working exactly as it is supposed to. in many ways, this law is working better than we expected it to. for all the misinformation campaigns, all the doomsday predictions, talk of death panels and job destruction, for all the repeal attempts this law is now helping tens of millions of americans.
11:40 am
they have told me that it has changed their lives for the better. i've had moms come up and say, my son was able to see a doctor and get diagnosed and catch a tumor early and he is alive today because of this law. this law is working. it's going to keep doing just that.rs in this is no longer about a law. this is not about the affordable care act as legislation or obama care as a political football. this is health care in america. unlike social security or medicare, a lot of americans still don't know what obamacare is beyond all the political
11:41 am
noise in washington. across the country, there remain people that are directly benefiting from the law but don't even know it. that's okay. there is no card that says obamacare when you enroll. that's by design. for this has never been a government takeover of health care despite cries to the contrary. this reform remains what it always has been a set of fairer rules and tougher protections that have made health care in america more affordable more obtainable and more about you, the consumer, the american people. it's working. with this case behind us, let's be clear, we still have work to do to make health care better. we will keep working to provide the consumers with all the tools you need to make informed choices about your care.
11:42 am
we will keep working to increase the use of preventative care that avoids bigger problems down the road. we will keep working to boost the steadily improving quality of care in hospitals to bring down costs even lower, make the system work even better. already, we have seen reductions, for example, in the number of readmissions in hospitals. that saves our society money families money and makes people healthier. we are making progress. we are going to keep working to get more people covered. i'm going to work to convince more governors and state ledges lalt yurs to take advantage of the law put politics aside and expand medicaid and cover their citizens. we still have states that out there for political reasons are not covering millions of people that they could be covering despite the fact that the federal government is picking up the tab.
11:43 am
we have more work to do. what we are not going to do is unravel what has now been woven into the fabric of america. my greatest hope is that rather than keep refighting battles that have been settled again and again and again i can work with republicans and democrats to move forward. let's join together. make health care in america even better. three generations ago, we chose to end an era when seniors were left to language in poverty. we passed social security. slowly, it was woven into the fabric of america and made a difference in the lives of millions of people two generations ago, we chose to end an age when americans in their golden years didn't have the
11:44 am
guarantee of health care. medicare was passed. it helped millions of people. this generation of americans chose to finish the job to turn the page on a past that our citizens could be denied coverage just for being sick, to close the books on history where tens of millions of americans had no hope of finding decent, affordable health care. they had to hang their chances on fate. we chose to write a new chapter. in a new economy, americans are free to start a business chase a new idea raise a family free from fear secure in the knowledge that portable, affordable health care is there for us and always will be. if we get sick we're not going to lose our home.
11:45 am
if we get sick, that we are going to be able to still look after our families. that's when america soars when we look out for one another, when we take care of each other, when we root for one another's success when we strive to do better and to be better than the generation that came before us and try to build something better for generations to come. that's why we do what we do. that's the whole point of public service. so this was a good day for america. let's get back to work. is you've been listening to president obama speaking about
11:46 am
the supreme court's decision this have gentleman noon to uphold subsidies called for in the affordable carry act. the president saying the affordable care act is here to say after 50 votes to repeal or weaken the act. he said this is not just for a privileged few for those to get insurance but that affordable health care is a right for all. >> absolutely. as he said this is absolutely here to stay that the plan has had successes and setbacks. he is saying that the supreme court ruling is a ground-breaking situation for the obama administration and no doubt that this is working.
